In Dentrix, each individual who provides billable treatment to patients is a provider. Providers appear alphabetically according to their IDs, and usually only a provider's ID is displayed and/or printed. Before setting up providers, consider the following information:

·        You must assign each provider a unique, four-character, alphanumeric ID. You can use initials or other codes, such as DOC1, DDS1, HYG1, and so on.

·        You cannot change a Provider ID once you set it up.

·        You cannot delete providers once you create them; however, you can inactivate them.

·        You can filter information according to a range of providers in certain reports. Alphabetize your providers so that you can use these ranges effectively for these reports.

·        You can create up to 250 providers.
